Major Mail Problems PLEASE PLEASE HELP

ok so if this is right im game on?

In the mail server under os x..

I have checked enable SMTP and allow incomming mail.

Domain name: timeact.co.uk

Host name: mail.timeact.co.uk

then i create a mx record and set the value to the host name of my mail server (mail.timeact.co.uk)

is that correct?

Quote "Yes and you also need an A record to resolve mail.timeact.co.uk to your IP. Which seems as you have done it already."

No I hadn't but I have now created an A record

Web Site (A & CNAME) Records

Prefix TTL Type Value Action
600 A 81.137.215.123 Edit Delete

(81.137.215.123 is the external I.P address of the router which is mapped through to the mail server.)

ok that seems ok now.

but now I have to work out how to setup mailboxes seing as they were originaly just diverts.

I just sent an email to steve.howe@timeact.co.uk and the email server log says:

Nov 9 16:26:00 server postfix/pipe[2166]: E11E228C56: to=<steve.howe@timeact.co.uk>, relay=cyrus, delay=0, status=bounced (data format error. Command output: steve.howe: Mailbox does not exist )

hehe one problem after another.

ok I have got the email accounts working but now when i send out to an external email the email client says that relay failed.

OMG this hurts my brain have you got any ideas?

ok well entourage gets further it starts sending then says the connection was dropped - the mail server is not responding

lol i did exactly as you said...

I changed the relay to 192.168.0.100/24 from /32

and checkboxed

SMTP: CRAM-MD5, Login, PLAIN
IMAP: CRAM-MD5, Login, PLAIN
POP: Clear

I have also seen in OSX SERVER Mail>Advanced>Hosting. that local host aliases have localhost and timeact.co.uk in the window not sure if that means anything.

I just noticed in the log this...

"Nov 9 17:53:55 server postfix/smtpd[3513]: fatal: net/mask pattern 192.168.0.100/24 has a non-null host portion; specify 192.168.0.0/24 if this is really what you want

Nov 9 17:53:56 server postfix/master[3188]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling"

not sure if that means anything
